Noting that the incoming video contains ATC_LTC
timecode data (as shown in the status display), set the
Source Priority drop-down lists to include ATC_LTC
timecode data as a choice. This extracts ATC_LTC
timecode data from the incoming video to allow for
re-insertion as a selected format.
In this example, it is desired to provide both SDI
ATC_VITC and VITC waveform timecode data in the
converted SD output video. As such, set both
SD ATC VITC Insertion and SD VITC Waveform
Insertion to Enabled.
In the example here, the line numbers are set to the
default SMPTE 12M-2-2008 recommended values.

Shown below is an example in which received 1080i 5994 SDI video is being down-converted to 525i 5994. To preserve and
re-insert the timecode data after scaling (which removes timecode packets), timecode re-insertion is performed using the
Timecode controls. Each Timecode control is fully described on the pages that follow.
